Happy AnimalsLet’s make Nashville’s most vulnerable animals the happiest.
MACC, Davidson County’s only open intake shelter, welcomes every animal that needs help – regardless of species, breed, age, or health condition. We are a group of volunteers rallying around MACC to help enrich the lives of these animals, both during and after their stay at the shelter. |
Happy PeopleHappy pets also make for happy people.
That’s why Friends of MACC wants the community involved too. We hope you’ll volunteer with us or make a donation to our cause. We’ll also bring helpful resources your way, so you might see us at your neighborhood dog park or a local pet-friendly event. |
Be a Friend!MACC is Nashville's only open admission shelter: it helps any animal from within our community at any time. And nearly 7,000 homeless animals rely on MACC each year.
When you support Friends of MACC, you are showing your support for Nashville's homeless animals! And since we're a volunteer-based nonprofit, your donation goes directly to helping the shelter. |
